I thought those types of bikes always had freewheels rather than freehubs. Are you sure it's a freehub? How many speeds does it have?

8 speed

The question was whether you're sure it's a freehub and not a freewheel. Have you dismantled it?

 

[shar]

Aye it’s dismantled the answer I need is where can I get one

Lets make this simple, do the sprockets (gear cluster) screw on or do they slide on and to a hub carrier with splines ?

Do you know the difference between a freehub and a freewheel? If your bike has a freehub and it's broken,it's not going to be easy to get a replacement, as it would be part of the motor. Freewheels would be replaceable and they come from DNP. UK stockists are rare. I used to buy some from DNP for forum members, but I don't think I have any left.

What is actually wrong with what you have? Most problems can be fixed.

I would email them and ask for the freehub model reference number.

Sometimes you don't need a new freehub as it just require some grease, there are many videos on this on YouTube.

First, I'd drizzle a load of 3-in-one oil into it. You can get some in down the back of it, but the best is through the axle. You need quite a lot of that oil and it has to be that type. If that doesn't work, you'll have to strip it down. The pawls are probably standard Shimano type. If you could show the actual free-hub removed from the motor, I might be able to help because I have some Bafang ones off the bigger motors, but there are different types.

It's quite rusty, so try the 3-in-one oil, which you can get from any decent DIY shop. Halfords and Screwfix have it:

3 in one oil - Google Search

Alternatively, just dismantle it and clean it up. You only need to replace the whole thing if the ratchet is damaged. Everything else is replaceable.

As I said, there are different versions. If you have the type I showed in the second to last post here, you just remove the two ring-nuts on the axle and pull/wiggle it off:

Bafang CST freehub removal

Hey guys, As per the tittle I need to service the freehub on my 500W CST hub. It goes through spates of slipping really badly which is a bit worrying as if it fails completely I have a 5 hour walk home from work, or if crossing a freeway I will come to a sticky end. If I spray penetrating oil...
